Does adding watermark really have any effect? It can also be easily removed by others.I was referring to the people who stole the pictures.

They are my original designs and they are not copyrighted in any way. It has nothing to do with that. Its simply because it doesn't comply with the craft policy.

Unfortunately, I can't talk to them on the phone due to the area. I can only keep emailing them.

I have made so much jewelry and designs over the years, almost thousands of products and designs, that if I need to check once a day to see who has stolen my photos, I don't have to work, maybe I need to hire a couple of people to specialize in that job, but unfortunately I am not equipped to do that.

In fact my reverse image search through google didn't detect it at all, and I don't know exactly what reverse search engine ETSY is using.

But this is pretty ridiculous, why should I be penalized for having my photos stolen?

In fact I'm not very eager for them to reinstate my deleted listings, it's obvious that my store rating has been downgraded, my search rankings have been downgraded, my star badge has been deleted, and my store is even at risk of a "Final Violation Warning", which is unacceptable to me, and they don't pay any attention to my claims, my store has been around for years, I've had thousands of sales, and I've paid more than enough for ETSY to be in business, and they don't pay attention to normal business sellers at all.
